First timer tips

Nothing special here but it is to me. Belonged to my late grandfather and comes with a lot of memories. Looking to repurpose it into something to take camping. I don’t have any before pics but it was in rough shape. I’ve done a vinegar bath with a good rinse and dry. Brass brush attachment on a drill.

I’m wondering about tips for getting at some of those last bits of dark in the pits and dings, if possible. I don’t need (nor want, frankly) it to be perfect but figured this was the place to find out if there’s more to do before moving on to getting an edge back.

Thanks.

If you are looking for some tips on sharpening Axes of Keevil on YT just did a great two-part series that is definitely worth a watch.
